I'm from banning, California. Not born, not really raised, but moved out here at 16, never left. (Til i bounce to arizona that is?)
I got into music, in 4th grade with a snare pad. After watchin my older sister in the drumline. She wasn't In long but I loved it. Got into producing from marching band. My bro n I Christian used to mess around with soundation.com and we were ok but I mainly helped song structure and layering but nothing else, so we downloaded the demos to : Fl studio 10, Reason, & Abelton9. And do studio for me was the easiest to pick up. We dicked around on it and made some stuff we liked. Then I got my laptop and got to studio 12. And I really got into it next thing I know. I had like 7 beats. Like 5 songs. None released. And I didn't do anything with them but show some of my homies at school. Most people started listening after I uploaded my song FLCK. (flock, not flick) and it was uploaded on trapwarrior. It got 4k views and then on my sound cloud 5k. In 3 days. And that was like a woah moment for me. So I kept going and I was in a big ass block period but I'm back now. And I'm not stopping.
A memorable moment was getting 3rd on the. Weed smoke remix contest. From simplify. And it had 10k plays
